Chapter 2: Uninvited Guests
"Brother Tan, what are you going to do in a few days?" A webmaster asked a colleague who was sitting in a chair stunned.
"I haven't planned it yet, I'll work here when I go to the city, I haven't changed places for more than four years, and now I'm going to leave suddenly, and I don't know where to go." Tan Chu replied in a sullen voice.
He is the only one of several network administrators who eats and lives in the Internet café, and the boss's office is his home at night when no one is around!
The sofa for the guests, casually covered with a blanket, became his temporary bed.
"I'm going to leave here and go to work in the factory, and the income is not lower than here." The webmaster said.
"But I don't even have a junior high school diploma, and I don't have the skills and strength, so no factory will want me." Tan Chu sighed.
"It's okay, if you really don't have a place to live, you can go to me, it's always okay to squeeze it." The webmaster said.
"Let's see when the time comes, maybe I'll go back to my hometown to farm." Tan Chu said helplessly.
While the two were talking, the office door opened, and the two network administrators who had entered earlier came out dejectedly.
"Brother Li, Brother Wang, what did the boss lady say?" The two of them stepped forward and asked.
"What else can we have, give us money and let us prepare to leave, the proprietress doesn't want to wait for no one to come before closing, so she has to close the store in advance." The webmaster surnamed Li said.
"So fast!" Tan Chu was surprised.
"Xiao Tan, Xiao Liu, you come in." The voice of the proprietress came.
"It's okay to do it yourself, brother, I'll greet all the guests first, I won't come tomorrow, find a new job." Xiao Wang patted the two of them on the shoulder
"Take care." The two of them lowered their heads and walked into the office.
"Xiao Liu, this is a three-month salary of 3,400 yuan, can you take a look?" The proprietress handed over a bank card and said.
"Boss, didn't you just give me last month's salary?" Xiao Liu took the card and said in surprise.
"Because the store closed early the day after tomorrow, I didn't tell you, so I gave you an extra two months' salary, which can be regarded as helping you pay the rent and find a job early." The proprietress said sadly.
"Xie Lu Xie boss lady, if you open a store next time, I will still work for you." Xiao Liu was moved.
"You go pack your things, you don't have to come tomorrow." The proprietress barely squeezed out a smile and said.
Xiao Liu nodded gratefully, and walked out of the office with red eyes.
"Tan Chu, you have never been in YC City, you have never taken a vacation except for the Chinese New Year, and you are also on duty here at night, so your salary is a little higher, this is 6,000 yuan, do you see enough?" The proprietress said apologetically.
"Enough is enough, enough boss lady, you are good enough for me, including food and accommodation, and you don't care about my outside work, and you never charge me for electricity and internet." Tan Chu hurriedly said.
"You're a smart kid, I know you're getting paid more than I do for the gamers' private work, but you never interfere with your work, and you deserve the money." The proprietress shoved the card into his hand.
"But the boss, isn't it a few days before the opening of the Divine Realm, why are you closing the door so early?" Tan Chu asked puzzled.
Facing Tan Chu's doubts, the proprietress shook her head slightly...
It turned out that the proprietress was not a local, but married a classmate from afar.
The Internet café opened by the couple ten years ago, after the boss died of a sudden illness five years ago, only the proprietress was left alone to guard the store.
Tan Chu only entered this Internet café four years ago, and he has never seen what the boss looks like, and all the things are taken care of by the proprietress herself.
"I have given all the money to another owner of this Internet café, and all the machines in the store have been donated to the primary school in the mountainous area, and since the day after tomorrow, it will no longer exist. Xiao Tan, you are a smart child, and it is time to plan well for your future. The proprietress said.
"Xie Lu Xie boss lady, but I don't know anything, I have no education, I have no strength, it seems that I can only go back to my hometown, and the money I have saved may be able to open a small shop, and it is no problem to make a living." Tan Chu shook his head and said.
"Poor boy, I won't be coming tomorrow, there are still some accessories in the back warehouse, if you want to, you can install a machine and take it back, it's a thought of working here for a few years." The proprietress stood up, picked up the cardboard box that had been put away, and prepared to leave.
"Boss, I'll get it for you." Tan Chu hurriedly took the carton and sent her out.
The proprietress thanked her and walked out of the office with her bag...
At this time, all the remaining guests in the Internet café have been persuaded to leave, and there is no one left.
When the proprietress was about to walk out of the door, she turned her head nostalgically and looked at the Internet café she had established with her beloved, and her tears couldn't help but drip down.
Hundreds of computers neatly arranged, well-wiped tables and chairs, game posters plastered on all four walls...
The proprietress turned her head suddenly, snatched the carton from Tan Chu's hand, and quickly rushed out...
The car started, and the owner of the Internet café left the place forever!
This is good, the proprietress is gone, the guests are gone, and only the overwhelmed Tan Chu is left at the scene.
Well, I can sleep here all night today, and I won't be able to live tomorrow.
Tan Chu shook his head and sighed and walked into the Internet café, ready to write a sign... The store is renovated and temporarily closed.
The proprietress has explained, the network will be cut off at 24 o'clock, and the power will be completely cut off tomorrow, it seems that it is not possible to go away!
He walked to the empty bar, and by this time even the cashier's little girl had been gone for an unknown amount of time.
He could only take out a small blackboard from the bar, find a highlighter, and prepare to write a sign that refused customers.
After Tan Chu finished writing the sign, he was just about to take it to the door and hang it up, when he heard the sound of a car coming outside.
Is the hostess dropping something here?
Click, click... While he was wondering, two people outside the Internet café suddenly pushed the door open.
Two young men, a man and a woman, walked in.
"Hey, why is there no one in this Internet café?" The handsome young man asked in surprise.
"Could it be that we're too late to come and this place is closed, right?" The fashionably dressed beauty beside him said.
"I'm sorry two, the Internet café is closed, you can go to another house if you go online." Tan Chu was busy sorting out the small blackboard in his hand and explaining casually.
"We're not here to surf the Internet, we're here to find someone." The beauty said.
Tan Chu raised his head at this time, noticed the appearance of this beauty, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart...
He has worked in Internet cafes for so many years, and he has seen a lot of beautiful women, but the beauty in front of him still can't help but make his heart twitch violently.
In his eyes, if the beauties he usually sees are at the level of disaster to the country and the people, the beauty not far away in front of him can definitely be regarded as the level of the country and the city!
"Who are you looking for?" Tan Chu asked.
"Find a network manager, it is said that "Hero" is better to play, and the hand speed is super fast, so come and learn it." The young man said.
"I'm sorry, the webmaster is gone, you can go back." Tan Chu refused.
He already knew the purpose of these two people, and it turned out that they were famous for coming to challenge...
In the past three years, Tan Chu has received countless players who have come to challenge, if he were to change to the past, he would not hesitate to accompany them to practice his hands.
But now, having lost his job, he has no interest in such a challenge.
"That's a pity." The beauty sighed.
"I said that a broken Internet café like this, how could it be possible to hide a master like Xiao Li said, causing us to drive hundreds of kilometers and fall into the air." The young man said indignantly.
"Don't worry, I'll call and ask." The beautiful woman took out a high-end mobile phone from her bag and started making calls.
"Kids, do you know how to play Heroes?" The young man waited for the beautiful woman to call, and began to open the conversation.
"No, it won't." Tan Chu was so angry by his pretended tone that he replied to him very simply.
"Heroes can't, so what will you be? Bloody battle? Bingfeng? The man disdainfully reported the names of several games.
"Nothing, you can leave if you have nothing to do, I still have to close the door." Tan Chu issued an eviction order.
